Old journeyman told me I was cleaning my parallel clamps wrong for years

He showed me to just wipe the glue off the bar with a wax paper sheet instead of scraping it every time, and now my clamps slide smooth as butter - has anyone else found a weird shop trick that made you feel dumb for not figuring it out sooner?

Funny how the SIMPLE fix is usually the one that takes years to discover.
